Why are my SharedPreferences suddenly deleted, after I updated my game in the Market?
Here is the logcat...
We have an online multiplayer game that saves some login information in the SharedPreferences. Our app is copy protected and everything was going really well until this weekend when we released an update for it. It seems that at least some of the people are having their SharedPreferences deleted when they updated too the new app. As you can imagine our users are furious because they're all loosing their profiles, and our ranking is dropping fast.
We've tried to reproduce this a hundreds ways but are unable. We're wondering if this could be related to installing a copy protected app over a copy protected app? Since that's the only situation we haven't tested and can't test.
Why does my MediaPlayer
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.somemusic); mp.setLooping(true); mp.start();
stop, wenn I change the layout?
setContentView(R.layout.screenoptions);
and also suddenly in my game, the sound stops. What could be the reason?
And which one is better? MediaPlayer or SoundPool?
My app suddenly lost half its installs. Both on the Market website and on the device Market app.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FACTORY RESET. Now I've found you can resolve easily by deleting the com.android.providers.settings older entirely via root, then rebooting. at shell type: rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.settings. THEN REBOOT. You'll loose some settings, ringtones, notifications, screen brightness, but these are easily reset. If when you sync you get a ! you may also have to, or like to, clear the data under settings>apps> for gmail, gmailstorage, contacts,contactstorage, calender, calendarstorage - DO A SYNC FIRST AND CHECK IN YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT ON A PC AS YOU'LL LOOSE ANYTHING NOT SYNC'D. But why do so many devices suddenly bork requiring this? Does anyone know?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung Note 3 updated to 4.4.2
I deleted some videos by accident and I need to get them back. I don't have any added memory, everything is written to the internal storage. ALL of the recovery software I have tried is asking for USB mass storage or doesn't work.
DiskDigger App also doesn't work. I read that mass storage is no longer available on 4.4.2. Supposedly everything connects with some new system called MTP.
How can I get my files back from the internal memory? There MUST be some way to do this. There must be some way to read the entire internal storage disk!
If I've got a non-market app installed can I later upgrade with a market version if they're signed with same cert? (Figuring out pre-release builds etc)

I successfully purchase the app, I got the e-mail that the purchase went through, then it hangs at "authorizing purchase". Specifically, I'm having this issue right now with Vignette.
I have an X10 mini and plugged it into my computer 'PC Companion' prompted an update and restart of the phone this installed the backup and restore app which is fine but also a demo of a game called 'roller coaster' the demo lasted like 5 minutes and I'd like to uninstall it but can't do it the usual way as it wasn't from market place? Any suggestions?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI made a beta-version of a game which at the beginning was a testing- version. I solved more and more errors and made it faster and faster. Now I am getting to the point that it isn't a beta-version anymore. I have customers who like my free game and I also have old bad comments that my game was not working. Should I remove my beta-version and upload a completely new application to enhance my rating? (All my last comments were good) Or is there a possibility to remove old ratings?
I think it would be much better if the google-market will not include ratings of old versions into the total rating, because apps and versions change over time! Why doesn't google do this and how can I give this advice to google?
I'd like to announce the release on the Android Market of our last creation: 1 Minute Game. The main concept is very simple. The computer shows puzzles based on numbers, shapes and colours: the player must solve them and touch the correct answer to go to the next round, trying to be as fast as possible. We implemented 3 different modes that must be unlocked by playing more and more. You can play games under the "Training" areas so to train yourself and challenge your friends locally (there are 6 slots to store the profiles of the players).
Online Challenge
But the core of 1 Minute Game is the online challenge, which allows the players (once per day) to play a special match and to send the result to an online leader board. Each score shows also the nationality selected by each player try to get your country at top of the ranking. The ranking is visible both through the application and visiting the web site of the game.
Free DLC
In order to make the game more appealing and let you enjoy it for more time, we are developing new games to be released for free in the next versions of the application. For example, this morning (it's a matter of minutes) we will release the version 1.1 which contains a brand new game in the training section: The intruder. In each round, all of the objects shown on the screen share the same characteristic (same shape, colour, number or animation) except for one: that's the Intruder!
New games of logic will be released once they are completed and fully tested through future news.
LITE version
There is also a LITE version in the Market: 1 Minute Game LITE (limited number of levels, no online challenge and 2 slots to store the users' profiles), so you can try it and see if it is worth to buy the Full one. This LITE version includes the additional training "The Intruder" as well.
DOWNLOAD
the game can be downloaded from the Android Market. Just search for its name or click on these links with the browser of your Android smartphone:
FULL version - market://search?q=pname:com.wepromite.oneminutegame
LITE version - market://search?q=pname:com.wepromite.oneminutegamelite
I've been looking for a way to only show my game to "fast enough" phones in the Market but I can't find any good answer. Some people suggest to target by SDK, but that has nothing to do with the speed. I've seen some to target by screen size, but some Acer phones and the HTC Legend are fast enough for my game but have the same screen than the HTC Hero which is pretty slow.
I also saw some people filtering by OpenGL ES version but I can't find any sort of database that tells me which phones have OpenGL ES 2. Android 2.0 is supposed to support it, but I don't know if phones like the HTC Magic, after being updated to 2.0 will support it or they will be stuck in 1.1.
I'm sorry I know this is slightly off-topic, but since there is no group about the market... When I'm logging in to the Market console, I'm asked to agree with the "updated Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement".Is there any info/announcement anywhere highlighting and explaining the differences with the previous agreement?

View 4 Replies View RelatedLong story short, I ended up removing all user data (including apps) from my phone. I went to the "Downloaded" category in my Market account, and downloaded some of them, but the rest I don't want. How do I get rid of those (all labeled "installed") without having to download and uninstall them manually?

Can I sell on Android Market an application, and then sell from the web site (not by the android market) some downloadable content or some extendable rights ?
Example : A RTS game on android market that allow you to obtain 500unit/days (normal functionning) And then on the webSite or from the Phone you charge to obtain +250unit/days
The game is fully functional but you can pay to obtain more turn, or more data food, or more etc ... as all web online game.
I flashed my Samsung Moment (2.1) with Dream 3.0...everything is perfect but I went ahead and deleted google talk since I never intend on using it.
Well, apparently that causes one to not be able to download from the market. I can't even download Google Talk now to fix it. It keeps crashing when I try to download anything. I have Root Explorer and Astro but I don't think I backed up the Talk app. Am I screwed or is there some way to make this better?
For some reason my Market icon has been deleted. How can I restore it back to my phone?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy problem is using SharedPreferences. I just created a <PreferenceScreen> which holds inside a <ListPreference> with an array of 5 different values. Very simple! The array of values are different numbers: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 30.Every time I change the setting, the application remembers that and I can see the setting I chose when I access the preferences once again (as an user). Now, in the code, when I retrieve the setting using the key (e.g. getString("delay", default_delay);), I always get the default value, it seems that the SharedPreferences does not find my setting. Can anybody help? I have read about SharedPreferences.getEditor().commit(), but that should be used only when changing settings from the code, not from the UI preferences.
